Lampshade

While any old lamp can light up a room, a lamp with an Instagram lampshade truly shines. Not only is this project easy, but it requires four things: a lampshade, photos, an adhesive like hot glue or a spray adhesive, and laminating paper. This Insta craft is completely original and lets all of your pictures take the spotlight.
